Comments:

Tol is spoken by a few hundred people in the
Francisco Morazon department of Honduras. Fleming &
Dennis (1977) recognize a segment described as a central
semivowel (velar approximant?) which occurs only as an
infix. This seems likely to be considered an allophone
either of the corresponding vowel or one of the other
approximants. Glottalized stops occur with laryngealized
vowels in the same syllable -- an alternative analysis
might posit laryngealized vowels but it appears that
syllable-initial and syllable-final glottalized stops need
to be distinguished.
